What to Expect When Starting Hormone Replacement Therapy

Starting hormone replacement therapy can be intimidating. But with a touch of insight and a bit of guidance, you can rest easy, knowing that the journey you’re about to begin is safe, effective, and frequented by people of all ages.

Here at Port Orchard Natural Medicine & Aesthetics, our team of caring staff and hormone replacement specialists are ready to help you get healthy and balance your hormones. We are committed to informing our patients about the BHRT process so that they know what to expect when starting hormone replacement therapy.

 

What to Expect When Starting Hormone Replacement Therapy

Here are some things you can expect from hormone replacement therapy. If you have any concerns or exhibit symptoms that aren’t typical of BHRT, make sure that you contact a hormone replacement specialist with your concerns.

First, let’s get the uncomfortable stuff out of the way. Here are some possible side effects that you might experience when first beginning when starting hormone replacement therapy are the following:

  • Headaches
  • Cramping
  • Breast tenderness or enlargement
  • Acne
  • Bloating
  • Vaginal bleeding
  • Bodily swelling

Don’t worry. The chances that you’ll experience any side effects at all are slim. Most likely, your bioidentical hormone replacement therapy will be free of discomfort.

 

Getting Familiar With Hormone Replacement Therapy

At Port Orchard Natural Medicine & Aesthetics, we exclusively use bioidentical hormones. These high-quality, natural hormones are made from plant estrogens and designed to be exact replicas of the hormones your body produces.

 

Hormone Replacement Therapy Options

Our bioidentical hormone replacement treatments may be administered to patients in a number of ways. Depending on your hormonal profile and deficiencies, one or another of these methods will be ideal for you.

Before you begin your hormone replacement therapy, you will have a consultation with a BHRT specialist to ensure that you know what to expect from the hormone replacement therapy. After your hormone levels are measured, we will create a personalized treatment plan created to help you get your hormones balanced once again.

 

Popular methods for hormone replacement therapy include:

  • Creams
  • Injections
  • Suppositories
  • Capsules or pills (taken orally)
  • Lozenges (taken under the tongue)
